50 years ago I read what I wanted, but if you told me I couldn't something then I rode lickety split to the library to check it out.
Kids these days will have a long reading list.
My sister the libriarian would tell kids, (Particulary young high schoolers) that the themes were too mature for them. Thay would be back in a couple of days to tell it they handled it fine. About the 6th book they would catch on what she was doing but by then they were hooked and continued to ask for suggestions.

fluvoxamine will probably not get FDA approval but it is in many health care system's algorithms for treating acute illness early.
A clinician at the University of Minnesota made the unusual move of applying to the FDA for EU status, usually it is done by a drug company. It is an older antidepressant so very cheap, the generic manufacturers do not do the studies to get approval for new indications.

Hundreds of lawsuits disputing election results good, trying to prevent an insurrectionist from running bad? Do I understand the right wing narrative?

What is 'hillbilly heroin'?

Kudzu: That was answered twice, why was the question posted? Just curious...

Within hours of hitting the market the safety features had been defeated so it could be injected.

This is the elephant in the room that many are choosing to ignore for some reason.

Nursing staff at a Boston hospital went on strike last year and recently one major concessions this past week or so. THey have not been ignoring.
Several strikes over the past 7 years have occurred in the Twin Cities over this very issue, staffing and safety.

Have they considered paying new employees more than retailers?
Until such time I can think of a couple of positions these former nurses could fill....
I may be in need of 24 hour care starting in the next couple of days.
....What?

RN's get pain 65K-90K depending on department, experience, steps.
LPN's fresh out of school about 50K.
The entry level position I referenced earlier was a BHT, Behavioral Health Tech. They work on the psych wards in a similar function as a nurses aid. Minimal training, mostly on the job, no certification.
If you need a visual reference think the beefy guys on One Flew over the Cockoos Nest.
Housekeeping, clerks, ect are often less 20 dollars an hour

We have asked people on leave or retired to return, but not the unvaccinated. Again, I would like to hear your stories of systems groveling to get the unvaccinated to come back to work.

It is with great satisfaction that I am watching these medical facilities now grovel and beg for the same workers to come back to work, unvaccinated. The workers have the upper hand and I hope they ask for the sky and get it.

Got a link or article? The 3 largest health systems in Minnesota certainly are not.

Overheard at the pearly gates,
Angel, "Hey Pete, Guess who is coming to dinner?"

Can't find where I first read it but good for a smirk. RIP

Last week we had 700 out with Covid out of a workforce of about 8,000. Many were vaccinated, at home and are recovering.
Compounding is our entry level positions are now being matched by various retailers.
200 that refused vaccination and did not get an exemption are now on long term, unpaid leave. They can come back with proof of vaccination.
Staffing is becoming increasingly difficult, not so critical areas are being closed.
Would you rather be a tech on the inpatient psych ward for 17.85 an hour or have you nights off and work at Hobby Lobby.

Calling Verizon, Fidelity, Social Security, it is immediately apparent it is not a real person. Perhaps I have never 'chatted' with a bot, just phone trees that are not helpful and won't connect you to a live person (or a bot that can actually do anything).

That is a big steer!

We are going to get the trifecta in a couple of weeks. RSV, Influenza and Covid. Better not need your appendix removed!

I come here for my news; and the reasoned, respectful discussions of todays topics.

Anyone know what the usual turnover is? Doesn't seem to be that many.

Article on the front page said there was a 100,000 troops massed on the border. It was written two days before this one. Someone doesn't have access to good intelligence. I am referencing the original writers of the articles, not the person posting it here.

Breathtaking.

that statement should cost her the leader position. There should be an drive to force members of congress to put their assets in blind trusts, similar to what the executive branch is supposed to do.
This should draw bi-partisan scorn.

The good news? He knew who Rosa Parks was. If his colleagues in the cancel culture movement succeed school children will no longer learn about her and the civil rights movement. DeSantis probably thinks this comes under CRT.

I've already got one.

Now go away before I taunt you a second time.

Sort of listening to a sports radio show (KFAN 100.3) Meyer lost more games this year with the Jags than the previous 9? at Ohio State.

If the Kraken were loyal to her mother she would rips his nads off.

SCOTUS ruled that corporations are people. Maybe time to execute one, or its proxies.

FTA: The Marines who are being separated are receiving discharges that are general under honorable conditions, a Marine Corps spokesperson said. Such a discharge keeps the Marines from losing post-military benefits.

Eligible for VA to treat their butthurt.

Several states already require an inperson consultation for any new patient. This was put on hold for COVID but is gradually coming back. I suspect in the next few months Minnesota will return to this requirement as well. If they make it state statute or a medical board rule then it would not be discriminatory as it applies to all new patients. Once I had met in the office I can continue via video at my discretion.
Texas requires the prescribing clinician to have a Texas license, even for snowbirds seeing their doctor up north.
Rules are convoluted and complication.
The Plan B will have to be extensively litigate unless they make it OTC and remove the doctor completely.

Is this why Tele-health was never a thing until covid? Prior to Covid about 1/2 my practice was Tele-health. Over night it transitioned to 100% when we closed our clinics to inperson visits.
